Desktop has rotated 90 degrees

my entire desktop has rotated 90 degrees (1/4 turn). I tried to restart my computer, when it powers up the first screen information is correctly on screen but when it goes to the sign on screen and from that point on, the screen is always rotates 90 degrees. i have a HP G60-630 US with Windows 7. Any ideas?

Here is shortcut for setting it back to normal : Ctrl + Alt + Up arrow
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

How to calculate the rotation degree of tick marks

Hello Again,
Thanks to so much help that I received here, I've been able to move right along in learning how to perform my job digitally instead of with an old camera.
In my last discussion, I learned out to make the tick marks using copies and rotation. My question now is, how is the rotation calculated so A) I get the correct placement of the tick marks, especially the small ones as there are so many and B) how do I calculate the rotation degree so that I have the proper amount of space at the bottom of the guage/dial?
Here is an image to help show what I'm asking:
I know how to get the large tick marks and the small tick marks, if I were placing them evenly around the entire circle, I would know how to do that also - but since I'm placing them around only a portion of the circle (although still evenly) I'm lost. I can only figure out the space by hit and miss calculations and that is taking much too long. I would also need to know how much to rotate the entire thing by in order to get the open space at the bottom as shown.
thanks for your help!

You need to use transform effects and you can get this in about 10 or so minutes.
first you need to set up the objects.
the thick lines I used effect>distort and transform>transform 20 copies angle 14
thi ones 100 copies angle 2,8

Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

please help
itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

I bought a new computer, and iTunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what i do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything, and I want all that on my laptop..

I bought a new computer, and downloaded iTunes, therefore the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Cisco agent desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close error

A Remote Hotline user is experiencing crashes with her desktop agent. After logging into the program it generated the error message "The Cisco Agent Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have removed the agent from add remove programs, re installed it and attempted to run it logged in as an admin and using both mine and the user's agent credentials and the program still crashes.
Agent desktop ver 5.0 Build 6.4.2.12 Windows XP
Any ideas?
Regardes, Chet

Thanks for the reply, this is what I did to resolve it:
Fix:
Uninstalled Desktop agent from add remove programs
Re installed program
Do a complete restart or the prog will continue to crash
Test program by logging in with user’s credentials

IPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis

As stated, iPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis. My iPad was new as of Xmas day. I have NOT synced to iTunes (I don't want to at this time) and I have NOT upgraded the software to iOS 5.0.1 (still on 5.0).
I have downloaded about twenty apps; five of which cost money from Apple's app store.
I don't get it. This is a new device that I have been using for less than ten days for only an hour or two a day; I don't believe new purchasers of iPads should be having to contend with icons going missing (icons take turns disappearing when swiping back and forth between the pages of app icons, the names of icons remain, however).
I have re-booted the iPad. At first the icons all reappear and all seems well until about an hour of usage of opening up various apps and using them, and then the problem re-appears. I have done this three times now, and have resorted to just contending with the problem as the apps will still launch and they run fine, it is just that the full icon doesn't appear (only the name of the app and a missing icon above the name of the app):
I am thinking the cause could be due to one of two problems/issues, but wonder what others' thoughts are.
1). Glitchy App. If it is due to a glitchy app (and does not Apple test these apps before giving the all -clear to be downloaded from the Apple app store?), how best to figure out which one it is?
2) Glitchy OS (iOS 5.0). If this is due to a glitchy 5.0 iOS, is there no other choice than to upgrade to 5.0.1? I really do not want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. [And if it is necessary, would Apple really release a glitchy iOS knowing ahead of time it had problems? Seems strange....]
Anyone got any ideas or have been experiencing the same issue (is it a known issue)?

And if you restore as new, you can re download the apps for free as long as you are using the same apple id.
If it was a single bad app, you would have said so. If it was a common problem with the os, it would have been reported by a zillion users.
I think your os got corrupted. ( potentially from a bad app, or maybe just gremlins). It is a new machine, just start over. Reload the apps in small groups so that if it is a bad app, you can narrow the issue down.

Mac HD's Spot on Desktop has Shifted--How to Correct?

Suddenly, after a restart, my Macintosh HD icon on my Desktop has shifted from the upper right corner of the screen to a spot near the Dock toward the bottom left. This spot is also where a new Folder appears when I create on. All of the other icons on my Desktop are behaving normally.
What I've done:
repaired permissions, verified disk (it's OK), run the crons, trashed Desktop prefs and restarted (problem persists)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve M.

Hi Steve,
Sounds like it may be corruption in the Home folder .ds store:
rm ~/.DS_StoreThis should set your Finder back to default and hopefully your HD icon as well.
EDIT: Forget it

Everything on the desktop has disappeared!

Everything on my desktop has disappeared but you can still access the desktop through a new finder window. Does anyone know how I can make my items on my desktop including my hardrives to reappear?

Certainly couldn't hurt to try Repairing Permissions.
It's not guaranteed to solve your problems, but users here have seen RP fix many strange issues that normally wouldn't appear to be related to permissions.
Open up Disk Utility, select your Hard Drive on the left side, and press the Repair Permissions button.
Let that finish, then reboot your system and see if anything has improved.
EDIT: You could also try trashing your Finder preferences altogether.
Delete this file and reboot:

Why my MBP Retina 13" has 80 degrees?.

Hi, my MBP R 13" is a brand new so, why it has 80 degree.
Right now, i'm using Google Chrome, Mail, iMessages and it has 47-50 degrees.
When i watch a movie it has 80 degrees.
Note: I use smcFanControl (by the way, i can not adjust the right side fan, why).

look at this:

[SOLVED] Mate desktop and rotating backgrounds

Hello Arch Community,
As I've aged my vision has degraded. I now use a 42" LED (not lcd) TV as my main monitor. I've got a post into the mfg asking about burn-in related issues on my specific model.
I see on the web varying opinions, screenshots, supporting, or debunking LED based burniin. I have never in all of my working career, have I ever had an LCD or LED monitor burn-in. It is curious on why the TV's would suffer from this seeing that they use the same technology.
The difference for me is, I have the sharpness, brightness, contrast, and backlights all cranked down to sane levels. I've always ran my monitors "gently" instead of bright. Bright hurts my eyes,...... a lot.
The screen is 3' away from me, so it doesn't need to broadcast it's photons across the living room.
Back on topic......
As a precaution, I've set my taskbar to auto-hide.
But I'd like to setup my screen backgrounds to rotate on a periodic basis. I don't see a native MATE mechnism for doing this.
Can someone please offer suggestions on how to do this in my chosen DE?
Thank you very much!
Sincerley and respectfully,
Dave

You could try installing Feh.
You'll have to stop Caja from drawing your background first, though.
Open a terminal and run:
$ mateconf-editor
and navigate to / -> apps -> caja -> preferences and untick "show_desktop".
Then run Feh as per the wiki's instructions for a random background.
EDIT: wrote the wrong mateconf entry, sorry. Also this will stop caja drawing icons on your desktop - who needs those anyway?
